FD30 fire doors in Royal Leamington Spa, CV31

FD30 fire doors in Royal Leamington Spa, done to the evidence

From the CV31 postcode district outwards, we take on FD30 fire doors across Royal Leamington Spa for homes, blocks and workplaces.

In and around Royal Leamington Spa, fire door work covers everything from schools to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

In Royal Leamington Spa, FD30 doors are the usual choice for escape-route corridors, stairs and kitchen doors where the fire strategy asks for 30 minutes. For a mixed portfolio in Royal Leamington Spa, we can survey every FD30 opening in one visit and price leaf-only and doorset options side by side.

Leaf only or a full doorset?

If the existing frame is sound, correctly sized, securely fixed and compatible with the new leaf's certification, a new FD30 leaf can be hung in it. Many frames do not pass that test: old softwood linings, frames that have been cut about for previous doors, or frames with no evidence of how they were fixed. In those cases a certified doorset (leaf, frame and ironmongery tested together) is the cleaner answer and usually the quicker one on site.

We tell you which route each opening needs on the survey, door by door, and why.

What you get:

• Overhead closer set to close and latch
• Photo record, product data and certificate references at handover
• Frame-to-wall gap sealed with an evidenced material
• Intumescent strips and smoke seals to the certification
